A Royal Conflict: Buckingham Palace vs. Hollywood
American Thinker.com ^ | March 6, 2021 | Michael Curtis

Posted on 03/06/2021 6:31:37 AM PST by Kaslin

It is an ironic twist of history that two American women should have been the cause of political crises in Britain and led to concern that they might affect the powers and even the very existence of the monarchy. In the 1930s, the Prince of Wales, to become Edward VIII, fell in love with Wallis Simpson while she was still married to someone else. In his chatty diaries, Henry “Chips” Channon wrote on December 5, 1936 that “the King, like the poor Tsar and Louis XVI will listen to no advice and is running straight to his doom.”

Eighty years later, another playful prince, Harry, fell in love with Meghan Markle, who is determined, as she sees it, to “keep striving to set an example for doing what is right and what is good.” Though her main complaint has been of lack of support from the Royal Family, lack of respect, and even of some “plotting” her downfall, the Duchess of Sussex has benefited from a lavish lifestyle and public funding including a wedding that cost $42 million in 2018.

There is of course no exact comparison between the two women, one a socialite and the other a biracial, moderately successful actress. Both left Britain for different reason -- the Duchess of Windsor for Canada and Europe, and the Duchess of Sussex for Canada and California. Yet despite the differences, the fear is that Sussex may be as destructive as Windsor.

Skirmishes and heated exchanges have been occurring during the last year, but a more pointed war is now escalating between the rival powers in London and Los Angeles, starting with an event expected to be explosive. On Sunday, March 10, 2021 a highly anticipated two-hour program is to be broadcast on “CBS Primetime Special.”

All the women that guy could have married, he’s a Prince for freaks sake, and he marries a far left granola eating wacko who thinks a baby can be raised on bird seed. He’s going to have a lot more problems.

Meghan wants the Hollywood career but I’m kinda surprised some studio hasn’t tried to make at least one action movie with Harry as the hero.

Oh, I know! Nothing else would set her off quicker than that!

Yeah. I used to respect Harry cause he fought in Iraq at the time my son was deployed there with the 82nd. But now I think Megan has his family jewels in a lock box.

Yeh, I suppose I’m inclined to be moderately favorable towards the Crown. Basically, if that’s what the Brits want so be it. Besides, from what I’ve read the crown is a net revenue generator and self sustaining. So, what’s the harm? And, it appears that The Crown has stood on the tight side of democracy during various challenging times such as the early days of WWII as example.

She could make soft core porn like the girl that Andrew wanted before he settled for Sarah.

Andrew has been allowing his libido to guide his decision-making since he was a teenager

If Markle wanted to do what was right and good (she doesn;t clearly) she would not get involved in remarriage adultery that will last the rest of her life.

And she would not be trying to take down a person of royalty from another country and culture. No one can like her for her gold-digging self-serving oppositionally defiant behavior.

Harry is a big sucker. Good that he was not in direct line for the crown--no judgment.

Hope his brother can show a better brand of common sense than his father, his mother, or his brother. Grandma Elizabeth truly has demonstrated the kind of character that her own grandmother Victoria demonstrated, throughout, even though her husband is a wretched skirt-chaser.

I think Harry always wanted out and MeAgain was just an excuse to go.

I agree with you totally. She’s not a good person and his judgment and wisdom is nil. They are a pathetic lot.

There's a political crisis over Prince Harry and his wife? Seriously? No matter how disgusting and childish politics in America is, the British can always make me say "hey, at least we're not the UK".
